tulip problems

[Jordan Bettis <jordanb@m-net.arbornet.org>]

I have a tulip card (Linksys LNE200TX as well as a NE100, both of which
have the same problem). I couldn't get it to work with the 2.2.12, 2.2.16,
or 2.2.17 tulip, but I read ethernet-HOWTO that these cards are most
likely PNIC, not true DEC tulip cards. I went to scyld.com and got it's
tulip (which had intintagrated support for PNIC, according to it's page on
scyld.com). It compiled on all three but I couldn't get it to actually
load on 2.2.17 (missing something and I've given up trying to figure out
what). 

anyhow, tulip loads silently with
# insmod tulip debug=6
but cat /proc/interrupts looks like this:

           CPU0       
  0:    1274793          XT-PIC  timer
  1:      22887          XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  4:     305042          XT-PIC  serial
  8:          1          XT-PIC  rtc
 10:          0          XT-PIC  es1370
 12:     108252          XT-PIC  PS/2 Mouse
 13:          1          XT-PIC  fpu
 14:     935552          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:      74269          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0

and cat /proc/ioports looks like this:

0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : fpu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : ide0
02f8-02ff : serial(auto)
0376-0376 : ide1
03c0-03df : vga+
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
1400-143f : es1370
1460-1467 : ide0
1468-146f : ide1
c4840000-c484007f : eth0

I got a tulip-diag program from scyld.com that outputs this:

tulip-diag.c:v2.04 9/26/2000 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)
 http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Index #1: Found a ADMtek AL985 Centaur-P adapter at 0x1000.
 Port selection is 100mbps-SYM/PCS 100baseTx scrambler, half-duplex.
 Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, half-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Stopped'.
  The Tx process state is 'Stopped'.
  The transmit threshold is 128.
 The Comet MAC registers are 10782000 ffffd352 filter 0000000000000000.
 Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
     '-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
  or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.

does anyone know what my problem is?

Thanks,

Jordan Bettis.
